| T. Bumpkins pee pads I know a lot of YTers have 107barney's washable potty pads..how easy were they to train your puppy to? I am bringing home my Luma in 17 days..(yes I have a countdown! hehe!) and we got some disposable pads for the first couple days. Looking into investing in the washable pee pads though. Also does she have a discount code available?

| Hi, I'm sorry I did not see this earlier but got your message and sent a note back. The discount code is in my signature line below. Most dogs respond well to positive reinforcement with training methods and I'd suggest leaving any pads you use (washable or disposable) in the same locations.

| Washables beat all, I purchased the ones from Petco (Pooch pads) to try out, they are good but ugly and at the 24 hr. mark they stink awful. Now I don't mind changing every 24 or even 12, but I purchased some from T.Bumpkins, (I have three litter boxes that I put them in), I've been recovering from surgery and a bad spell of flu and cold, I've been running to PT and Drs., and returned to work yesterday - So I was neglectful, and the brand new T.Bumpkins that I purchased were not swapped out until last night, almost 48 hours in place. The first thing I noticed was NO ODOR and had to feel to see if they were even wet, incredible. I put them in the washer last night and put the pooch pads from Petco down, the first thing I noticed (less than 12 hours later) was the "pissy smell" when I got up! I really hate that smell. I went to the washer took the T.Bumpkins out and layed them in their boxes slightly damp... The point is when I had the T.Bumpkins down I never smelled or noticed the pads...I pick up poop as we go along but to not have to worry about the peepads is wonderful!!! I just placed a "full order" to add to the 3 I ordered to try out! I am thrilled, happy about the no smell, happy about not worrying about running out of disposables, and especially happy that I won't be spending over $100 dollars per month on them! I am so happy that I found YT and all the threads about these washables, I so turned my nose up to it before, but this new pup has wore me out with pad changing!!!

| I just made my order of 2. Small. So that I can place them in the litter-box as well. To prevent puppy going on the edge. Im sooooo excited to get them in. They had soooo many cute options. Just another spoiling accessory.!! With a great idea behind it. Love the fact were supporting another Yorkie lover with the purchase. : )

The thing about the odor is SO TRUE!! I have a bunch of T.Bumpkins & I thought I'd be clever and get some ugly washables on Ebay to throw into my rotation. They stink!!! I NEVER had that issue with the T.Bumpkins. I ended up throwing out the Ebay washables just yesterday. I'll be ordering some larger pads from Cathy soon since I now have 3 & the standard size is a little small for us. I really do LOVE my T.Bumpkins pads. Aside from being absolutely gorgeous, they're waaay better than any disposable. I'm still impressed with how well they're made. I trained mine to use the pads by putting a washable under a disposable & letting a little of the washable peek out more and more everyday. It took less than a week. Now they go on washables and/or disposables. I wash them in unscented detergent & add some baking soda so the pups can still smell their old wee wee...but I def can't smell anything. I don't have a problem with them mistaking throw rugs for pads. At all. Sorry for the long post. But I never thought I'd get so excited about a wee wee pad. Highly recommended.

| I too took a long time to switch. I thought it was silly to have pretty pads for pee and poop to be on. Once I got a couple, it was all over. I am SO glad so many people posted about them because it made me want to try and I am SO glad I did. LOVE them!!!

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | They are such a great idea. So much easier and saves money. I have no washer or dryer so I had to stick with disposable.

| It would be nice if they came in solid colors. I don't like the 'cutesy' look of the prints. |

| We have made solids for people upon request. Not all prints are cutesy, many are decorative prints. One girl wanted solid black, another chocolate brown and one wanted hot pink. I just don't stock solids so need additional time.

baby blue on chocolate.jpg I also have these prints: chocolatepaisley.jpg graphical_dots.jpg And my favorite... asiangarden.jpg I got all brown to match my wood floors. They actually look great on the floors. They're made really well, so they don't look cheap or anything like that. They look a lot better in person than on a monitor. I'm terribly picky & I was really impressed.
